I really identify with Abraham

Genesis 12:1
The Lord had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you."

God has asked me to "leave and go" somewhere new many times in my life. He uses those foreign locations to draw me closer to His heart.

I look back on my time in Africa, Alaska, Minnesota, and now here in Hawaii. Some of those moves came so easilly and almost seemed effortless. This move has proven to be the most difficult but it is because I've come to a Hawaii with no plan or agenda. I don't know what God is up to. He's purposely kept me in the dark. This has been the truest testing of my faith. Some days, my anxiety is so great but I am reminded that it is probably because I am finding it difficult to submit all of myself to God.

Lord, I believe in Your goodness. You have always been constant in my life even when I wasn't following you completely. You never left me. My life, my hopes, my dreams, I just speak out and say that they are Yours.
Show me the places in my heart that are unyielded to You. Help me to breathe You in and exhale my own self.
Lord, I believe you brought me here, help my unbelief.
Reveal Yourself to me in this place. Show me Your glory that my life may never be the same!

I love you, my friends. I have never been more aware of needing community than I am now. As I follow God, you are the support behind me that gives me the courage to keep on going. Thank you that even though I am on a literal island, your presence in my life does not make me an island unto myself.

Mahalo(Thank you)!
